Chapter 50 Wealth moves people's hearts, and it is put together
Chen Wenqiang was a little puzzled about the honesty of Xu Zhuangshi and Xu Dwarf, but according to him, Xu Zhuangshi was not lying. As for www.biquge.info reason why the two of them did this, it was obviously not something he could know. Even the authenticity of these two names, he was quite skeptical.
But now there is no need to get to the bottom of it, what he cares about is that he finally learned of the conspiracy of Heyitang, that is, Zhao Jinghu, or the plot.
And this plan is not something that Zhao Jinghu has had for a long time, it is an idea after the situation has changed. Seven killings were born in the air, killing local merchants or avoiding or changing careers, and people and property were greatly lost. But are these local merchants really giving up this road to fortune completely? The answer, of course, is no.
The ruthlessness of the seven killings and the threat of death made the local merchants temporarily forbear, but the greedy nature still drove them to find ways and ideas in every possible way. The Detective, Lookout, and other umbrellas have been eliminated, and they must first find another shelterer. In the French Concession, they took a fancy to Huang Jinrong; In the public concession, they chose Heyitang and Zhao Jinghu.
Why don't you find a stronger and stronger Heungyi Hall? First of all, Jin Sanye, the master of Xingyitang Mountain, seemed to be defeated by the seven killings all at once, and he became a lobbyist, persuading this one to pay the ransom and persuading that one not to do it hard; Secondly, some people suspect that Seven Killings and Xingyitang have some kind of secret connection, even if Seven Killings is not a person from Xingyitang, it is estimated that Xingyitang can spend money to hire Seven Killings to be a person.
What about Zhao Jinghu of Heyitang, how can he not know that tobacco * soil is a hugely profitable business? He couldn't get involved in the past, but this time the local businessman came to the door to donate money for help, how could he not be tempted? However, Zhao Jinghu was gloomy in the end, and he knew that the Seven Killings were his fortune and the biggest obstacle to Heyitang's growth. Before he figured out the situation, he was not prepared to recklessly accede to the requests of the local merchants.
But the money is confusing, and Zhao Jinghu did not say that he would not agree, but told the local businessmen to plan in detail and wait patiently. In this way, Zhao Jinghu used the donations of local merchants and his own connections to secretly recruit good people and sent people to spy everywhere. At the same time, he also knew that relying on swords, axes and martial arts alone was no longer enough to win, so he searched for guns and ammunition through various channels.
"XXX Road XXX?" Chen Wenqiang said an address in a deep voice, which made Xu Zhuangshi and Xu Xiaoshi stunned for a moment.
"Awesome." Xu Zhuangshi sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Zhao Jinghu is really greedy for profit, and he wants to compete with Brother Chen. On martial arts, he can't; As for this scheme, it is also given in vain. ”
"Why fight me?" Chen Wenqiang still refused to admit that he had anything to do with the Seven Killings, and said with a smile: "Zhao Jinghu is looking for the Seven Killings, which has nothing to do with me." ”
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, Zhao Jinghu wants to make a fortune on the smoke and soil, and if he wants to deal with the seven killings of chivalry and righteousness, our brother won't help him." Xu Zhuangshi's appearance was very sincere, looking at Chen Wenqiang and said slowly: "Brother Chen is good at foreign guns, he just promised to test his fists and feet, and he also gave our brother face." Otherwise, the foreign guns would have killed our brothers a long time ago, right? Hehe, although I know that this thing is powerful, and I can't resist it if it's a human being, but I can't change it, and I don't want to play with it. ”
Chen Wenqiang looked at Xu Zhuangshi and asked suspiciously: "The two of you told Zhao Jinghu all about it, is it just because of the above?" ”
"Look." Xu Zhuangshi glanced at his brother, "I'll just say that Brother Chen is a fine person, and he will definitely get to the bottom of it!" He turned his head to look at Chen Wenqiang and continued: "Okay, let's tell Brother Chen about this background experience in detail." ”
Listening to Xu Zhuangshi's narration, Chen Wenqiang understood the ultimate goal of these two. That's right, although the two of them are not brothers, they are both boxers of the Boxer Rebellion back then, and they are both masters of martial arts, and Xu Zhuangshi's right arm was injured by a foreign cannon. The Boxer Rebellion failed, and the Manchus and foreigners jointly raised the butcher's knife and suppressed the remnants of the Boxer Rebellion. Xu Dwarf ran back to his hometown in Sichuan, went to Mount Emei to follow the Wudang Taoist Xu Qingxu to learn art, and studied Shaolin Kung Fu, set the essence of Wudang and Shaolin, and created a natural door kung fu of "movement without beginning, change without reason, virtual and real, natural".
Xu Zhuangshi, on the other hand, fled to the south, and after hiding in Guangzhou for a while, as a bodyguard hired by a wealthy businessman, he followed his boss to the South Seas several times. Later, he spent more than a year at the owner's branch in Singapore, and it was during this time that he joined Hongmen.
When he came back this time, Xu Zhuang was watching the domestic rumors gradually subside, and wanted to see his old brother for many years. happened to meet Zhao Jinghu to solicit everywhere, Xu Xiaoshi was already a member of the Sichuan robe brother, because of the situation, he came to Shanghai Beach to have a good time, so he came with him.
"Nanyang is also the world of foreign devils, and foreign devils are still rampant in China." Xu Zhuangshi shook his head and sighed: "Zhao Jinghu, not only the local merchants are supporting him, but also the British are supporting him behind his back, just for the sake of the smoke and soil, which is a disaster for the country and the people." If this is not the case, Zhao Jinghu has already been mostly cut into the old decay of the soil, how can he have such courage and courage? ”
The British may not have helped Zhao Jinghu, but acquiescence and connivance are certain, after all, tobacco and soil are a big business for the British to make huge profits. The local merchants in the downstream of sales dare not take over, who will those Indian soils sell to?
Chen Wenqiang realized the enormity of this battle, the enemy was strong, or the hostile alliance was strong. In this way, how to break up this alliance, or the order of striking at the enemy, must be carefully planned to ensure that there is no danger.
"And Brother Chen is not only not afraid of foreigners, but also allows foreigners to work under his hands, which is admirable." Xu Zhuangshi stretched out his thumb to Chen Wenqiang, "In addition, Brother Chen's foreign affairs are skilled, and he is not even inferior to foreigners, which is also breathtaking. ”
"It's over." Chen Wenqiang was very interested in Xu Zhuangshi's overseas Hongmen identity, and said: "I want to go to Nanyang and raise funds for development; Or recruit some available people in Nanyang, I don't know what Brother Xu thinks? ”
"It's not easy to say about fundraising, but recruiting talents is more suitable than in China." Xu Zhuangshi pondered for a moment and said, "If Brother Chen is useful to his brother, his brother will definitely do his best to help." ”
Chen Wenqiang nodded and asked, "What are the two of you going to do now?" Whether to leave here, or to return to Zhao Jinghu for the time being. ”
"Our brother is at the mercy of Brother Chen's arrangement." Xu Zhuangshi smiled meaningfully, "Brother Chen seems to hope that we are still there in Zhao Jinghu for the time being. ”
"Huh." Chen Wenqiang smiled, but he was happy in his heart, how could he not defeat the enemy's conspiracy by arranging such two undercover agents by Zhao Jinghu's side? Zhao Jinghu, since you don't want to spend your old age in peace, then I'll give you a ride in advance!
